CLOSE ENCOUNTERS WITH BABOONS

Jeni, head of this endangered primate monitoring and conservation project, takes us on a spectacular guided walk through the Cape Fynbos just outside the Cape of Good Hope nature Reserve. This leads us right amongst a troop of wild baboons where Jenni explains their behavioural patterns such as grooming, feeding, communication, along with their astonishing social structures and codes. This unique experience brings us close-up to these fascinating animals, which are somehow so similar to human beings, yet have been mistakenly portrayed. A great opportunity for photographers!
